Final answer:
The value of lx + 51 is greater than -5 for the given values of x.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking whether the expression lx + 51 is greater than -5.
To answer this, we need to evaluate the expression for two values of x. When x = 0.0216, the expression becomes lx + 51 = (0.0216)x + 51 = 51.0434, which is greater than -5. Similarly, when x = -0.0224, the expression becomes lx + 51 = (-0.0224)x + 51 = 50.0224, which is also greater than -5. Therefore, the statement is true for the given values of x.
